PCV values were slightly higher than GCV values for all the characters under the study. A perusal of genetic parameters viz., phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation revealed less influence of environment on the characters under study. Therefore, response to direct selection may be effective in improving these traits. Majority of the characters exhibited higher heritability values in which ear height and ear girth recorded the highest values (99%) followed by days to 50% anthesis (98%), days to 50% silking (97%) and number of kernels per row (97%), ear length (95.1%), grain yield (93.9%), number of kernel rows per ear (92.8%), crude protein (85%), days to maturity (83.7%) and lysine (63%). High heritability indicated that these characters were least effected by the environment and selection is effective for the improvement.
